Picture Spacing Problem (XP)

I'm fairly new to programming for Word, so this may be a simple problem. I have a document generated by the outputto function in Access. It has some assorted text at the top and bottom of each page. Each page is mostly blank in the middle, except for one spot which is the filename of a .jpg file. I've figured out how to use VB to find the filename and insert the actual picture in the same place. However, that throws off the spacing of the rest of the document. I need to know how to do whatever magic is necessary in VB to keep the text below the picture in the same position it was before the insertion. There is sufficient space to contain the picture and all the text on the page. The pictures are provided by the end user and I can't count on the size being constant, just reasonable.

By default, Word inserts pictures "inline" with text, just like it was a word in a huge font. To cause the picture to "float" above the text so that it appears in front of your Access report, you can convert the InlineShape to a Shape. At least in theory; I haven't tried it.

I had problems with getting the pic to anchor where I wanted it. Probably something I don't understand well enough yet.
I ended up just adding a line to the original code to convert the picture from inline to floating after it was inserted.
That gave me the result I need. Thanks for the help. <img src=/S/cool.gif border=0 alt=cool width=15 height=15>
